People who work from home: how does the job know you're actually working?

Do you have to hit a button on the computer every 30 minutes to prove you didn't leave or what?

I have to work from home a few days, but not yet. And it's got me wondering.

I don't want to ask the manager "so how will you know I'm working"

No. They have always kept track of our orders and stuff. Luckily, with or without this virus being out this is still a work from home job. At anytime, I am able to turn my profile off so that I don't receive any orders because I am an indepent contractor. They know if we're not working. The managers have access to our profiles and stuff.
